Sahith Theegala runs away with Coronado City
CORONADO, Calif. (Sept. 28, 2014) — Sahith
Theegala, a senior at Diamond Bar High School (in
California's Inland Empire) headed down to the
scenic Coronado Golf Course for the weekend and
ran away with the Coronado City Championship.
On a day where the wind was a bit breezier than
day one and the pins were tucked, Theegala --
perhaps inspired by seemingly endless birdies made
over the weekend at the Ryder Cup -- shot a
blistering seven-under par round of 65 to extend his
two-shot opening-round lead to eight, winning the
event in wire-to-wire fashion. He has committed to
attend Pepperdine, and judging from his play here,
and earlier this summer at the Los Angeles City
Championship, he will make a fine addition to the
golf team.
Finishing alone in second place was Tyler Moore,
who shot 70-71.
Moore's sister, Haley, won the women's division
by 12 shots, shooting 70-65. Moore, a 15-year-old
high schooler from Escondido, shot 62 last year as a
14-year-old at Twin Oaks Golf Course at the San
Diego Junior Spring Championship.
In the Senior division, John Hoffman fired back-
to-back rounds of 72 to win by four. Ken Kubis
finished in second place at 148 with consecutive
74's.
